In my upcoming book, “The Nuremberg Trials: Last Tragedy of the Holocaust,” I do a systematic and exhaustive analysis on the legal/philosophical origins of the Nuremberg Trials. In this opus I trace the positive law (separation of law and morality) origins of the U.N. and its first international tribunal, the Nuremberg Trials, and critically detail how this crisis of philosophy via diplomatic expediency and geopolitical cowardice lead to the sham show trials at Nuremberg, where 13 trials were held over a four year period supposedly to vindicate the Jews and to usher the day of reckoning for the crimes of the Holocaust. It did neither.

Only 177 Nazis were tried in all. In the first and most famous trial, 24 Nazi leaders were brought up on charges of crimes against humanity, and only 11 Nazis received the death penalty. The majority were either acquitted (3) or given token prison sentences (most served less than seven years). So angry at the paucity of the sentences, French prosecutor Josiah Dubois angrily stated that the punishments “were light enough to please a chicken thief!” If Hitler’s merciless and savage Nazis weren’t guilty of something, then who among us is innocent of anything?

The Jewish people got a raw deal at Nuremberg, and there would be more treachery afoot in subsequent years against them.

Let’s examine the U.N.’s critical role in passing a resolution that led to the birth of the Jewish state on Nov. 29, 1947, giving them a homeland – no doubt out of embarrassment and guilt for not foreseeing Hitler’s genocide against them. The Jewish Zionist movement was key in lobbying the U.N. and mobilizing member states of the world to vote for a homeland for the Jews just three years after World War II, but there was a caveat. (The devil is always in the details.)

The day after the U.N. resolution was passed granting Israel statehood, five Arab nations (Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq) attacked the Jews and the infant Jewish state in a devastating united front. Regrettably, this wouldn’t be Israel’s last war. All this was done under the blatant treachery of the U.N. being complicit with the Arab states “to finish what Hitler started” and to bring to its apotheosis “the final solution” against their mutual hated enemy, Israel, under the guise of giving Jews a homeland. It was all a duplicitous, colossal sham.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a modern-day Hitler, has made his plans perfectly clear – “to wipe Israel off the map.” His three-part plan is to: 1) Destroy or neutralize Israel’s only ally, the U.S.; 2) Destroy the nation of Israel; and 3) Establish Shariah Law and a Muslim caliphate throughout the world where those of other religions, especially Jews and Christians, will either have to convert to Islam, become permanent second-class citizens (which is tantamount to slavery), or be summarily executed. The U.N.’s silence here reminds one of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel’s prescient words: “To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.”

In 1947, the U.N. General Assembly created the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, or UNSCOP, to propose a solution to the Palestine problem. To make the committee more “neutral,” none of the great powers were represented. This was a strategic coup for the U.N. and the Arab states in their conspiracy to bring to conclusion Hitler’s “Final Solution.” Why? Because the U.S. (one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Israel’s greatest ally) and Great Britain (the colonial power over most of the Middle East including Palestine) would have limited input on the Palestine/Israeli peace negotiations with the Arab states regarding Israel’s statehood, or even its existence. The fix was in.

UNSCOP’s partition plan was summarily rejected by the the Palestinian Arab leadership and by most of the Arab population. Likewise, many prominent Jewish leaders rejected the proposal out of hand. For example, future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, then leader of a Israeli paramilitary group called Irgun, announced:

The partition of the homeland is illegal. It will never be recognized. The signature by institutions and individuals of the partition agreement is invalid. It will not bind the Jewish people. Jerusalem was and will forever be our capital. The Land of Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And forever.

Although at that time the views of Begin’s visionary “One State Solution” were publicly rejected even by the majority of the Israeli Jews, no doubt in large part for expediency reasons, nevertheless, history has vindicated Begin’s revolutionary ideas regarding not only the security of the state of Israel, but of the U.S. and the entire West.

The U.N.’s treachery against the Jews by creating this so-called “Partition Plan” or in modern parlance “Bush’s Two-State Solution,” rather than following Begin’s One State Solution, has lead directly to the Muslim’s jihad against the Jews, Christianity and the West worldwide, leading directly to 9/11 and the present quagmire wars America and its allies are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The future war between America (Israel) and Iran is imminent, and I believe it will ignite before the 2008 elections. Why?

Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you [Israel]; but they [the children of Ishmael=the Arabs] shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
